German Picture Print of Horst Wessel
In a very good condition and hard to find a print of a portrait picture of Horst Wessel.
The print comes in a size A4.
Horst Ludwig Georg Erich Wessel (9 October 1907 – 23 February 1930) was a German Sturmführer ("Assault Leader", the lowest commissioned officer rank) in the Sturmabteilung (SA), the paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party. After his murder in 1930, he was made into a martyr for the Nazi Party by Joseph Goebbels.
Wessel first joined a number of youth groups and extreme right-wing paramilitary groups, but later resigned from them and joined the SA, the brownshirted street-fighting stormtroopers of the Nazi Party. He rose to command several SA squads and districts. On 14 January 1930, he was shot in the head by two members of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). Albrecht "Ali" Höhler was arrested and charged with his murder. Höhler was initially sentenced to six years in prison, but was forcibly taken out of jail and killed by the SA after the Nazis came to power.
